Blazers 96, Spurs 93: After trailing by 10 early in the fourth, the Blazers took the quarter 30-19 to give San Antonio their first loss of the rodeo road trip. Martell Webster(notes) (21 points, 5-of-5 from deep) hit a three with 22 seconds left to give the Blazer their final lead of the game. The Spurs had a chance to tie with 10 seconds remaining, but Manu Ginobili(notes) (21 points on 8-of-16 FG, five assists) missed a wide open corner three (off an exceptionally well-run play) to hand it to Portland. LaMarcus Aldridge(notes) spearheaded the Blazer attack with 28 points and 13 rebounds, and Tony Parker(notes) and George Hill(notes) combined for 34 points on 14-of-28 from the field and six assists (all Parker).
History: This is the first time Portland has swept the season series against San Antonio since 1996-97.

Cavs 102, Heat 86: Controlled by Cleveland the whole way even though they didn’t get a big lead until the fourth. LeBron was huge with 36 points (9-of-16 FG, 17-of-21 FT), eight assists, seven rebounds, and two steals. Miami shot only 41.4 percent from the field, although they did get good games from Dwyane Wade(notes) (24 points on 11-of-26, only 1-of-2 from the line, nine assists, four steals) and Michael Beasley(notes) (21 points on 9-of-14 FG, 12 boards, two steals, two blocks).
Key line: Quentin Richardson(notes) had a rough night when the Heat really could have used another scorer: no points on 0-of-7 shooting, two rebounds, two fouls, and nothing else in 28 minutes.
